4. Log filesEach time the web pages of Universität Vechta are accessed, usage data are communicated by the respective web browsers and stored in the so-called server log files. These data sets contain the following data: access date and time, name of the accessed website, IP address, referrer URL (the URL from which you accessed the EGERA website), the amount of data transferred and information regarding the type and version of the browser used.

The user IP addresses are erased or rendered anonymous at the end of the session. "To render an IP address anonymous" means modifying it in such a way that details of personal or material circumstances can no longer or only with disproportionate investment of time, cost and labour be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

We evaluate the anonymized log file data sets in order to further improve our website and make it more user-friendly, to find errors more quickly and allocate server capacity. In this way, we can, for example, find out at what times our website is most heavily frequented and make the necessary data volume available. In addition, analysis of the log files facilitates the quick identification and elimination of errors on the website.

I hereby agree that Universität Vechta evaluates and analyses the data contained in the so-called log files in order to optimize the service and its application.

5. Web analytics/Google AnalyticsWe use so-called tracking technology to constantly improve and optimise our website. We use the services of Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "Cookies" (text files) stored on your computer which enable Google to analyse how users use our website. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our website (including your IP address) will generally be transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there.

Please note that on this website, Google Analytics is supplemented by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP-masking).

At our request, Google therefore only records your IP address in a truncated form, ensuring anonymity and making it impossible to identify you. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate your IP address if you are located in Member States of the European Union or any other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and truncated by Google servers in the USA. Furthermore, Google complies with the data protection provisions of the US Safe Harbor framework and is registered with the Safe Harbor Program of the US Department of Commerce. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports about the website activities for us and to provide us with further services relating to the website use and the Internet use. Google will not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics with other data. Google will transmit these data to third parties only if legally prescribed or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google. In no event will Google associate your data with other data collected by Google.

By using this website, you consent to Google processing your collected data in the manner described above and for the purposes mentioned.

6. Data subject's rights of access, erasure, blocking and objectionUnder the Federal Data Protection Act, our customers have a right, inter alia, to request access to their stored data (free of charge) and (if applicable) a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of data. In particular, you are furthermore entitled, pursuant to section 15 para. 3 TMG, to object to the creation of pseudonymised usage profiles for purposes of advertising, market research or tailoring tele media services according to demand.

We take the protection of your data very seriously. To ensure that personal data are not disclosed to third parties, please submit your request (clearly stating your personal identity) via email or letter to
